The Human Factor in DevOps: Because Even šŸ¤– Need Good Teammates (Almost)

A presentation at DevNexus in in Atlanta, GA, USA by Jeremy Meiss

Remember when ā€œDevOpsā€ meant throwing code (and maybe a few passive-aggressive emails, that thankfully werenā€™t meetings) over the wall? Weā€™d like to think that the last decade and a half has dispelled us of that notion, but has it really? Often when organizations begin their ā€œDevOps Transformationā€ they focus so much on automation, but the component that is more often than not overlooked is the human element. Human connection.

In this talk, Jeremy will dig into some strategies for building teams that actually work together, and might even come to like each other (though he canā€™t promise ā€œmeetings that are emailsā€ will become a norm). Heā€™ll talk about ways to encourage open communication, resolve conflicts, and create a team culture where everyone feels valued - because even the best automation tools canā€™t replace a team that actually works together.
